The legendary Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are set to make their debut during the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global, bringing with them exciting new Adventure Effects that can enhance your Pokémon catching experience outside of battle. Don't miss the chance to use the Tour Pass to maximize your earnings and make the most out of this event.
Black Kyurem's Freeze Shock ability creates electrically charged ice that lasts for 10 minutes, immobilizing wild Pokémon and making them easier to catch. Meanwhile, White Kyurem's Ice Burn slows down the target ring during encounters, simplifying the process of landing Excellent Throws. Both effects can be extended in 10-minute increments, up to two hours at a time, with a total possible duration of 24 hours.
During the event, you can challenge Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in five-star raids to collect Fusion Energy. After fusing Zekrom or Reshiram with a Kyurem that knows Glaciate, the moves Freeze Shock or Ice Burn will replace Glaciate. However, these moves will revert back to Glaciate once the Pokémon are separated. Note that currently, Kyurem cannot learn these moves through Charged TM or Elite Charged TM.
You have the choice between two event badges during the tour: Black Version, which focuses on Reshiram, and White Version, which focuses on Zekrom. Choosing the Black Version means Kyurem encountered after defeating Black Kyurem will know Glaciate, and you’ll receive Reshiram-themed Special Research rewards. Opting for the White Version grants you Zekrom-themed Special Research rewards, and Kyurem encountered after defeating White Kyurem will also know Glaciate.
To enhance your progression, utilize the Tour Pass, which not only unlocks various rewards but also boosts your Adventure Effects. You can earn Tour Points by catching Pokémon, participating in raids, and hatching Eggs. Alternatively, you can accelerate your progress with quick Pass Tasks. Reaching Major Milestones will increase your Catch XP and extend the duration of Freeze Shock or Ice Burn.
For those looking to maximize their event experience, consider upgrading to the Tour Pass Deluxe. This paid option provides an immediate encounter with Victini, more event-themed encounters, an avatar item, and the new Lucky Trinket. The Lucky Trinket is a single-use item that allows you to become Lucky Friends with someone from your Friend List, enhancing your next trade.
The Pokémon Go Tour: Unova – Global will take place from February 24th to March 2nd.
